With all the unions at the table, the social dialogue in the Basque Country is compromised

  • The management of the UGT union in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa has decided to leave the social dialogue table after so much has been done by the CCOO union. The ELP and LAB did not participate from the beginning. Without a union, the organization was left in disarray.

The Secretary General of the UGT, Raúl Arza, explained on Tuesday that the agreement signed by the Basque Government with Confebask “at night and with subservience” has led the union to leave the table. Arza criticizes the fact that the Urkullu government favors a bilateral relationship with businessmen and not a three-way dialogue between organizations, employers and trade unions.

In addition, Arza points out that the agreement with the employer has also left aside the Government’s own Department of Employment and Justice – led by María Jesús San José, a member of the PSE-EE. He called on the government of the PNV and the PSE to hold “the appropriate debate” on this issue.

The trade unionist has suggested that the agreement with Confebask has not been approved by the Employment Department.
